Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 


DATE:  TUESDAY JANUARY 24TH 2023


THEME:  FLAMES OF FIRE IV


MEMORISE: Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. Proverbs 27:17 


READ: Ecclesiastes 4:9 -12


9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.


10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.


11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?


12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.


MESSAGE


Fire is very generous. If you ha e one hundred candles to light, all you have to do,is light one of them and that one candle can be used to light the remaining 99. Fire lights up other materials that have the potential to carry it. 


Fire is always looking out for good materials that are flammable. In Deuteronomy 34:9, when Moses saw that Joshua was a good material, he imparted the spirit of wisdom into him. When Elijah saw that Elisha was a good material, he gave him double portion of his power. Who are the good materials that you have noticed around you - people with potential to do exploits for God, if only they could be mentored correctly? Get close to them and heat them up for God. You don't know how far that good material around will burn for God if only you can bring him or her close enough to get some heat from you.


I don't understand how some men of God try to quench the fire of others. Fire does not compete with itself. When fire meets fire, it join forces to impact the environment even more. Is there someone else who carries fire around you? Put denomination aside and join forces to advance the Kingdom of God. Individually there are some obstacles that your fire may be too small to overcome, but when you come  together, you can bring down very high mountains. When one fire seems to go down, the moment it comes in contact with another, the new one rekindles it and makes it burn more. It mazes me that sometimes when children of God see another child of God going cold, they would rejoice and say they are 'minding their business' rather than getting closer to the person and helping to rekindle his or her fire so,that the person can burn even more for God.


Fire burns better when it is in contact with other fires. You and other fires around you will burn better if you come together from time to time to rekindle one another. This is why you find pastors coming together to form associations, so,that everyone can ensure that nobody's fire goes down. Believe me honestly, you will burn better if you don't look away when you, notice that the fire of someone else is going down.


KEY POINT 


Fire is generous and burns better when in contact with other fires.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 278-30


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE 


HYMN 12: ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS


1. Onward, Christian soldiers!

Marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus

Going on before.

Christ, the royal Master,

Leads against the foe;

Forward into battle,

See his banners go!


[Chorus]

Onward, Christian soldiers!Marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus

Going on before.


2. At the sign of triumph

Satan’s host doth flee;

On, then, Christian soldiers,

On to victory.

Hell’s foundations quiver

At the shout of praise;

Brothers, lift your voices,

Loud your anthems raise.


3. Like a mighty army

Moves the Church of God;

Brothers, we are treading

Where the Saints have trod.

We are not divided;

All one body we:

One in hope and doctrine,

One in charity.


4. Onward, then, ye people;

Join our happy throng.

Blend with ours your voices

In the triumph song:

Glory, laud, and honor

Unto Christ, the King.

This through countless ages

Men and angels sing.

THEME: FLAMES OF FIRE III


MEMORISE: 

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 

Matthew 5:15


READ: Mark 16:15 -20

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.


16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.


17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;


18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.


19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.


20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.


MESSAGE

Fire cannot be ignored; it always affects its environment. Wherever fire is, everyone around there feels it's heat and whatever comes in contact with it would either be consumed or become fire too. If there is little fire somewhere and you throw some sheets of paper at it, they will catch fire themselves. I am charging all believers today. It is okay when you have just come into a school to say, "Oh, we are surrounded by sinners" but after three months, it would be a shame if they are all still sinners. How can you be in an office for three years with everybody there remaining the same? Fire compels everything around it to become like it. If you have not been preaching the gospel to the people around you, where is your heat? Why have you gone so cold?


In 1 Kings 18:36-39, when Elijah demonstrated that he is fire, the whole nation fell on their faces and said, "Your God is God". In Acts 16:25-34, when Paul and Silas were thrown into jail, by the time Paul and Silas had demonstrated that they are fire, the jailer humbled himself and said, "Tell me what l must do to be saved". I pray you will receive the ability to demonstrate the power of God in your environment now in Jesus' name. Shining your light would, however, require personal sacrifices. You must spend time praying and dwelling in the presence of God. You would need to fast and study your Bible regularly.


Don't shy away from opportunity to show that you are fire. When a classmate tells you they are not feeling fine, don't suggest medication, lay hands on them and pray for their healing. By the time the fellow gets healed, he or she would spread the news to others and before you know it, you would have won your faculty over to the Lord. Is there any of your colleagues who is looking up to God for the fruit of the womb? See it as an opportunity to preach Christ to your entire office. Pray for the fellow and assure them that they will carry their babies in nine months. When God does the miracle, everyone will know that your God is real and they will bow to Him.


ACTION POINT 

Ensure that everyone who come in contact with you hears the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

DATE: SUNDAY  JANUARY 22ND, 2023.


THEME: FLAMES OF FIRE II


MEMORISE: 

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 

Romans 12:2 


READ: 2 Corinthians 6:14 -18

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?


15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?


16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.


17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,


18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.


MESSAGE

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment.

Exodus 23:2


Fire does not follow trends, it remains the same all the time. Fire is fire. It is not frozen today, liquid tomorrow and cap out the next day; fire is always fire and remains in one state. It does not copy anything or anyone else - it remains in its own state.


I remember when the custom amongst men of God in Nigeria was to wear a flowing robe - Agbada. It was there way of proclaiming, "We have arrived". I don't have anything against the Agbadas. It is the traditional attire in many Nigerian cultures and l do wear it now and again. However, l refused to follow the trend of wearing it all the time. One man of God said to me then, "l like you, but l don't like the way you dress like a hunter" - apparently referring to the conservative French suits l often wear, l told him l was not a hunter, but rather, a soldier of Christ. Fire does not blend in with its environment, rather, it affects it.


You must stand apart. You cannot afford to do something simply because others are doing it. Fire does not yield to peer pressure. Proverbs 1:10 says when sinners entice you, don't consent. It doesn't matter how enticing the new trend is, if it is not in line with the word of God, reject it. In 1 Kings 18:22, Baal was worshipped across the land of Israel but Elijah set himself apart. He did not blend with the others around him because He was fire. It doesn't matter if everyone is doing what is against God's will, because you are fire, you cannot join them. 2 Corinthians 6:16-17 urges us to come out from amongst unbelievers.


Matthew 5:16 says that we should let our light shine before men, that they may see our good works and glorify our father in Heaven. How will they see the works of God in you when you are always trying to blend with people who are doing the works of the devil?


REFLECTION

Check yourself: have you been following worldly trends.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 21-23


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 23: TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE


1 Take my life, and let it be

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;

Take my moments and my days,

Let them flow in ceaseless praise,

Let them flow in ceaseless praise.


2 Take my hands, and let them move

At the impulse of Thy love;

Take my feet and let them be

Swift and beautiful for Thee,

Swift and beautiful for Thee.


3 Take my voice, and let me sing

Always, only, for my King;

Take my lips, and let them be

Filled with messages from Thee,

Filled with messages from Thee.


4 Take my silver and my gold;

Not a mite would I withhold;

Take my intellect, and use

Every power as Thou shalt choose,

Every power as Thou shalt choose.


5 Take my will, and make it Thine;

It shall be no longer mine.

Take my heart; it is Thine own;

It shall be Thy royal throne,

It shall be Thy royal throne.


6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour

At Thy feet its treasure-store.

Take myself, and I will be

Ever, only, all for Thee,

Ever, only, all for Thee.
